OLDER FICTION
Mancusi, Mari

Gamer Girl

(4) YA New kid Maddy is immediately labeled "Freak Girl" by the popular kids. She escapes reality by obsessively immersing herself in an interactive role-playing video game, and her alter ego, Allora, inspires her to stand up for herself and make friends. Though the book's lesson isn't original, its details are, and they'll appeal to fans of manga and computer games.
